Microservice Applications bring many powerful benefits -- scalability, component isolation, and a much simpler platform for feature updates and additions. In many respects, these benefits are enabled by splitting the functional components of an application apart into separate services and using the network as the mechanism for interprocess communication. While this fundamental change in application architecture has many benefits, it also has some inherent problems: it is difficult to link components together, make them secure and make them performant.
